Which suits you?
Self-drive or with a driver?
Best outside Istanbul
Ideal for the north (Trabzon, Uzungol), Cappadocia, and the coasts — excellent highways and stunning scenery.
Cheaper for longer trips
Fixed daily cost with no driver fee, free cancellation on most deals.
What you need to rent
- A valid driver's license — strongly recommended to get an International Driving Permit before travel.
- Passport and a credit card in the driver's name for the deposit.
- Minimum age is usually 21 (varies by company and car class).
Driving tips for Türkiye
- Tolls are electronic (HGS) — bridges and motorways charge via an electronic tag. Confirm your rental has one and ask how tolls are billed to you.
- Drive on the right — intercity roads are excellent and comfortable.
- Avoid driving inside Istanbul if you can — pick the car up when leaving the city or straight from the airport.
- Photograph the car from all sides at pickup and document any existing scratches.
